Access to WebkinzWorld is free with purchase of a pet, I think it is reasonable for them to run ads to offset bandwidth and server costs.

I think the CFCC has some valid perspective, but there are more nefarious things they should focus their attention on if they want to make a real impact.

If the parents would have clicked on the ads they would have known the ads were giving the Webkinz Pets a costume or a free food. When clicking on the ad the pet receives a costume in the dock for there Webkinz to wear! Lighten Up for heavens sakes.

Search long enough and you will find something negative. This is not it.
